So last evening, I decided to reload some .38 specials. I reloaded about 300 of them on my Lee Pro 1000 without any "hiccups" at all (which is rare for me). Everything seemed to be going fine and all of a sudden I could not get a loaded round to eject out of the shell plate holder after I seated and crimped the bullet. I took off the ejector bar in hopes it was just bound up some how. But that didn't help. It was only after a little more investigation did I figure out the primer was not seated fully in the pocket. It was sticking so far out, it was causing the round to hang up in the shell plate holder. The only was I was able to remove the round was to get it into the priming/charging station. There I was able to wiggle the round around to get enough clearance to remove the live round. AFter messing with it a little bit, I went the "safe/not sorry" route and pulled the bullet and powder before messing with it some more. Even though I read on this forum I could use my de-priming die to remove the primer, I was a little apprehensive about it. So I first tried to load the empty cartridge in my revolver to try and fire off the primer. No-go. I could not load the case becasue the primer was sticking out too far. So I reluctantly de-primed the case with no issue. That was my first potentially dangerous issue I've ever ran into. I was very carefull to keep my noggin from looking down on the bullet while it was stuck. Anyway just thought I would share with the community.
